Seeing my brother and sister crying miserably.

Wei Sixian let her cry for a while before she began to comfort her younger siblings.

"Sister-in-law, please accept my condolences. The dead cannot be resurrected. My brother's death should not be in vain. But now others are in high positions and have power, while we have nothing. For now, we have to live well so that we can have a future. You have cried and complained before, so dry your tears and live a good life."

"That's easy for you to say..."

My sister-in-law was just about to say, it wasn’t you whose man died.

Then she thought, her mother-in-law and husband were gone, and she and her daughter were...

From now on, the only ones I can rely on are my eldest sister-in-law and her family, and I cannot offend her.

Aunt Wei had to swallow the complaints that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Hey, I just won't accept my fate, what can I do? Fortunately, you are here to be my backbone, otherwise, I don't know what to do."

Several women kept vigil.

He Qiudi hasn't slept since midnight.

I was tense all day long.

He fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

When I woke up again, it was almost dawn the next day.

He Qiudi got up, walked to the yard, found the well in the county government office, put clean water into the well, and poured the rest of the water 20 meters underground.

After an unknown amount of time, He Qingya's voice rang out: "Aunt, you got up so early? Won't you sleep a little longer?"

He Qiudi looked at her, shook his head and said, "I went to bed early last night, and it's almost dawn now, so there's no need to continue sleeping. I forgot to ask you yesterday, after the funeral of the Wei family is over, will you stay in Wei County with your father, or will you go to Lan County with me to pick up Qinglu and take her back to Shiliu Village?"

"I'm going to pick up Qinglu. She's alone at Feng's house, and I'm afraid she'll be scared. Then I'll go back to Shiliu Village. I have to give the He family an explanation about the soap formula."

"it is good."

He Qingya was able to face the problem of the "soap formula", and He Qiudi would not stop her from returning to Shiliu Village to apologize.

At that time, no matter what Old Lady He will do to He Qingya, it will not be He Qiudi's business.

Punishment anyway.

This is all He Qingya should bear.

Because the Wei family's affairs were not very glorious, Wei County is now in a state of disrepair, and He Huaiping, the postmaster, has to take over the job as soon as possible.

After discussing with his cousin Wei, he buried County Magistrate Wei and Old Lady Wei early this morning.

Two thin coffins were carried to a cemetery outside the city and buried, thus ending their lives in a hasty manner.

The funeral procession was simple.

They asked the county government's servants to help carry the things.

The team carried the coffin from the back door of the county government office, walked through the streets, passed the city gate, and then carried it to the cemetery outside the city.

He Qiudi saw that there were no bodies of the Great Zhou soldiers on both sides of the street and at the city gate.

The bodies of the Western Rong people had not yet been cleaned up, leaving them exposed. Men dressed as miscellaneous soldiers of the Great Zhou pulled carts and carried their bodies one by one onto the carts. They then dragged them to a mass grave not far from the cemetery outside the city and simply threw them into the mass grave.

He Qiudi saw the corpse-dragging team, and he was still holding a knife in his hand, stabbing the corpse again.

On the way to the cemetery, except for a few people from the Wei family who were crying, He Qiudi's three siblings and one other really couldn't shed a single tear.

Fortunately.

It's finally done.

When they were walking back, He Huaiping went to the post station to report first. He Huaibi saw that He Qiudi was protected by Yang Ba and Yang Jiu, so he went to the post station with He Huaiping first.

He Qiudi originally wanted to leave, but he held back and sent Wei Sixian and the others back to the county government office.

On the road.

Aunt Wei couldn't help but sneer, "After burying my husband in such a hurry, he couldn't wait to take up his post. If you don't know, you would think he is a county magistrate, but he is just a low-ranking postmaster."

He Qiudi sneered.

"Sister-in-law of the Wei family is really good at talking. The postmaster is an official. Yesterday, Wei County fell, and the former postmaster died for his country, vowing to never surrender. It's better than some officials who resist passively. They lose their composure before the enemy even breaks in, which affects morale and causes spies in the city to open the city gates, causing Wei County to almost fall. Now, the commander sees that the debt of Wei County's postmaster is gone, and he didn't vent his anger on the Wei family. You should be thankful. I advise you to leave Wei County as soon as possible, otherwise, when the commander comes to his senses, he will definitely let the Wei family do something!"

Aunt Wei: “You…”

Wei Sixian said quickly: "Qiu Di, my sister-in-law is also feeling bad, so she spoke without restraint, please don't take it to heart."

In terms of age, He Qiudi is a generation younger.

But in terms of seniority, she and Wei Sixian and the others are of the same generation.

Of course she defended her second brother.

"I'm not her sister, so I don't have to endure her harsh words. A new county magistrate has been promoted during the banquet, so you should pack up and leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the new county magistrate comes to chase you away, you won't look good."

Wei Sixian was in a dilemma.

"I wanted to go back to Shiliu Village after finishing the funeral of the Wei family, but with the chaos and turmoil, we women dare not go on the road alone."

He Qiudi spread his hands and said, "You can go back the same way you came to Wei County. Anyway, we have enough money. It's impossible that the Wei family has no other place to live except the county government office. You can move first."

Wei Sixian knew that He Qiudi would definitely return to Pomegranate Village.

Feng Shiyan would definitely arrange guards for her.

Then, they can go back to Pomegranate Village with He Qiudi.

But He Qiudi said all this, so Wei Sixian had to give up for the time being.

Now, the Western Rong people have been temporarily repelled, and many people in Wei County want to return to Ningyuan County. When the time comes, they can go together.

They are the elderly, the weak, women and children, and the government will not force them to stay in Wei County.

Return to the county government office.

After they had their meal, He Qiudi said goodbye and went to the city to find Feng Shiyan.

Wei Sixian took He Qingshu and the Wei family to pack their luggage.

Yesterday, all the gold and silver jewelry were stolen.

Fortunately, Wei Sixian was more thoughtful. Before coming to the county government office, she left some money in the house where she settled.

She also owns a small property and a grocery store in Wei County.

The Wei family has always lived in the county government office, but fortunately they also bought a two-story courtyard outside.

We can sell this yard after a while when the market is good, and then let my brother and sister-in-law use the money to buy a small house in Ningyuan County, and we will still be able to make a living.

Wei Sixian told her aunt Wei her thoughts.

Aunt Wei couldn't help but yell, "Aunt, you won't take us in? You want to drive us out? The Wei family has fallen on hard times, are you so impatient to distance yourself from us, your poor relatives?"

Wei Sixian has a headache.

"Sister-in-law, I told the Wei family about the He family's situation when Qing Shu Erlang and I came to Wei County. My mother-in-law didn't treat me well when I was dealing with the grocery store and the two houses. You all saw how my sister-in-law treated me these past two days."
